One of my affirmations/guiding principals is: I choose to move forward towards my goals at an easy, sustainable pace.
That's been my summer so far. I also listen to my body: "Take a nap." Sometimes, the best thing for rejuvenating is making some deposits into the sleep bank. I've done a bit of that.

But one of the best things I've done this summer is: Read for entertainment. I haven't done much of that for a while. Buying a Kindle helped. Being ahead of school assignments has helped too, but I've got some stuff due in two days, so no "reading for fun" for me for a couple of days. Regardless, it's been fun.

I also bought the NY Times Crossword App for Kindle. I've done three puzzles -- the easy ones. It's fun, engaging, and you get to learn stuff! All part of my summer rejuvenation project. (There, I've named it. Now I can loaf, but pretend that I'm working on a project.) ;-)

My biggest project(s)? Build a fence. Welcome my daughter and her family on the 4th of July. (They're moving in two blocks away.) Other than those two projects, everything else is minor.
